CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) — Question 152
A development team, which is working on a software project, demonstrates software functionality to project stakeholders a week before the implementation date. Several stakeholders comment that the software does not meet the communicated expectations. Which of the following tools should the project manager use to validate the functionality?
Answer options
- A. Project status report
- B. Requirements Traceability Matrix
- C. Defect log
- D. Signed project charter
- E. Work breakdown structure
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The Requirements Traceability Matrix is essential in ensuring that all requirements are met and can help identify where expectations were not fulfilled. The other options, such as the Project status report and Signed project charter, do not specifically track requirements against delivered functionalities, while the Defect log focuses on issues rather than validation. The Work breakdown structure outlines project tasks but does not validate completed functionality.
